I agree with everyone that she was extremely easy and helpful. More like a high school teacher than a proff. However that may be because of the class.

Not sure why all this love for Labropulu. Her midterms are about 100x harder then any of the other math proffs. She is a very good teacher though, and despite difficulty I will be going from a NP in my first try at Math 111, to a high 80's. If you are VERY good at math, try taking it from a different proff, she will only hurt your chances of a 90+

Took and dropped the class twice. She seemed annoyed when u ask questions & gives 10 hw throughout the semester w/ each being worth 1% & a 10-page worthy solution. The workload of this class overtakes all of your semesters courses; this class wont let you work w/ your other classes. Seems like the prof wants you to be devoted to only this course

She does not record lectures and only posts lecture notes which aren't very helpful if you don't understand the concepts themselves. She is VERY unapproachable and will openly criticize your question if she finds it dumb. Very theory based, and the theories must be written the way she does. Not sympathetic to technical difficulties. RUN.

Do not take Math 110 with her or any other class. She is extremely rude and disrespectful to students who do not understand what she is teaching. Midterms and Final make up for 90%. All theory based, no recorded lectures. Program she uses for everything is terrible and will lower your grade significantly. Goes really fast with no explanation.

Don't make the mistake of choosing her as your prof. She goes through so many examples and expects you to know them for tests, but does not explain any of it & rushes. The tests are hard to pass in general but the program she uses for them online makes your mark even worse. So many people are failing the tests, but she truly could care less.

Felt like this prof was actively trying to fail us. When asked what would be on an exam, she would almost directly lie; it was better just to study every single thing.
